INVENTOR. M/on /L /f/dvl'f BY du@ LMA ATTORNEYS United States Patent O r"ice SENSITIVE THERMAL-CONTROL DEVICE Milton H. Pelavin, Forest Hills, N.Y., assignor, by mesne assignments, to Technicon Instruments Corporation, Chauncey, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed May 9, 1957, Ser. No. 658,143 ls claims. (Cl. z19-zo) vI'he present invention relates to heating receptaclesv with temperature control means therefor.
Normally, `in order to maintain a heated substance in an electrical heating receptacle close to a predetermined temperature, it is the practice to provide said heating receptacle with a thermostatic control comprising a thermo-responsive member positioned in direct heatexchange relation with the heating receptacle and operable in conjunction with a switch to make and break the circuit `of the electric heater. However, it has been found that due to the relatively high heat inertia of the receptacle and its contents, there exists a thermallag which permits the temperature of the contents of the receptacle to substantially overshoot. the predetermined temperature value set therefor.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide improved temperature control means which is extremely sensitive and rapidly responsive to slight variations from a predetermined temperature of the heating receptacle and is quick-acting so as to be effective to maintain a substantially constant predetermined temperature.
Another object of the invention is to provide in a thermostatically controlled heating receptacle having a thermostat operable in conjunction with an On-Off power switch, a control heater coil having low thermal inertia characteristics in heating relation to said thermostat for accelerating the heating thereof when said heater coil is energizedV and for accelerating the cooling thereof when said heater coil is de-energized, thus increasing the sensitivity of the thermostatic control and substantially reducing or eliminating variations from a predetermined set temperature intended to be maintained under the control of said thermostat.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of this invention will be more fully understood from the following description considered in connection with the accompanying illustrative drawing.
The sole ligure herein is a side view of the heating receptacle and a schematic showing of the electric heating and control circuit therefor.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, the heating lreceptacle 1t) comprises the open top metal container 12 which is provided with an electric heater 14 consisting of suitable electrically insulated resistance wire 16 disposed in the lower portion of said heating receptacle. A thermostatic element 18, preferably in the form of a bimetallic strip, as illustrated, is positioned in direct heat-exchange relation with container 12, by securing one end of said thermostatic element 18 to the outer surface of container 12, being preferably spot welded thereto as at 20. Switch 22 is a normally-closed quickacting switch, preferably a normally-closed microswitch having the usual push-pin actuator 24, which when moved inwardly is operable to open the switch and thus interrupt the circuit of heater 14. Thermostatic element 18has a part 26' which is flexibly movable toward and away from actuator pin 24, axially of pin 24, for respectively moving said actuator inwardly of switch casing 28 to open the switch and for 4releasing said pin actuator so that the switch can close by its own spring operation, as in the usual micro-switch or other 'spring closed switch. As spring operated switches of this type are well known a detailed description thereof is unnecessary. Thermostat 18 may be adjusted to operate at a desired temperature in any suitable way, preferably by the adjusting device shown in Gorham Patent 2,699,489, owned by the assignee of this application.
Pursuant to the present invention, van auxiliary heating j element 30 having low heat-inertiaV characteristics is clement 30 is electrically insulated from the thermostatic element v18. Heating coils which heat up and cool down rapidly in response to the electrical energizations and de-energization thereof are per se well known and readily available on the market.
Conductors 32 and 34 are adapted to be connected to a conventional power source. Supply conductor 32 is connected to one terminal of micro-switch 22, the other terminal of micro-switch 22 being connected in series with one terminal of receptacle heater 14 by means of conductor 36. The other terminal of heater 14fis connected to terminal A to which the control heater is also connected. VSupply conductor 34 is connected to terminal B, and, as can readily be seen, there are two parallel branches 38 and 40 across terminals A Vand B. Branch 38 contains therein in series thermistor element 42 and resistor element 44. Branch 40 contains therein series control heater coil 30 and a Variable resistor element 46. Thermistor 42 and resistor 44 act as a voltage regulator to maintain a constant non-varying voltage across control heater 30 in the branch circuit 4t?. Thermistor 42 has a negative temperature resistance slope portion on its characteristic curve, and its associated resistor 44 is a conventional resistor with `a positive temperature rcoeicient and having a characteristic curve with aslope equal to that of thermistor element 42 but of opposite sign. When the thermistor 42 is operated on the negative resistance slope portion of its characteristic curve, an increase in current through said thermistor will decrease the voltage drop thereacross, While the same increase in current in resistor 44 in series therewith will increase the voltage drop across said resistor thus resulting in a fixed voltage being maintained across heater coil 30, though the current through the thermistor 42 and resistor 44 may vary due to fluctuations in the supply voltage. Consequently, for any given setting of variable resistor element 46 in branch 40, the current flowing through said branch will remain constant. It is further apparent therefore, that the heat produced by auxiliary heating coil 30, being a function of the current flowing therethrough, will remain a constant amount regardless of any possible fluctuations in the supply voltage. be produced by auxiliary heating coil 30 may be regulated by variable resistor 46 in series therewith. As illustrated micro-switch 22 is. in series with the line and when said switch is opened by thermostatic element 18- pursuant to the heating thereof, receptacle heater 14 and auxiliary heating coil 30 are de-energized.
Description of the operation ofthe device now follows herein.
Micro-switch 22 being normally closed, electrical heater i 14 and auxiliary heating element 30 are both energized and thermostatic element :18 is heated both by the rei ceptacle 12 and the auxiliary heating element 30. However, the heat of coil 30 is not sucient by itself to heat the thermostat 18 to the extent necessary to open switch Patented July 12, 1960.
The particular amount of heat tok ceptacle and thus cools more rapidly than if it had been.
necessary to respondV only to heat changes of thereceptacle. Also, since the, thermal lag ofv controlv heater coil 30 is much smaller than that of the receptacle and its contents, said. coil will` cool much faster, causing; thermostatic element 13v likewise totcool muchfastenandzconsequently actuating microswitch 22 much, more quickly to turn-the power on and thus rre-energize heater 14 and auxillary heating elementV 30.
Upon re-energizing heaterV 14 and auxiliaryfheating element 30, the latter heats, up moreA quickly due to its relatively low heat inertia and again causes aA faster heating` of the .thermostatic element 18 and consequently a quicker actuation of micro-switch 22 to turn oit the power to both heaters. In effect, auxiliary heating element 30 anticipates the temperature change in the heating receptacle.`
and, having a lower heat inertia than the receptacle and its, contents, it heats up and cools oit much more rapidly than said heating receptacle and the contents thereof.
In the use ofthe device according tothe present invention the cycling rate, i.e., the On and Oft operations of switch 22, is much more rapid than a similar device without the, Vcontrol heater coil, -for example one cycle per minute as compared to one cycle per 15 minutes when the heating coil 3i) is omitted; and variations from a preselected temperature have consequently been considerably reduced or practically eliminated. 'Ihe frequency of cycling is dependent on the amount of heatV put into the auxiliary heating coil and on the thermal inertia of the thermostatic, element and the associated auxiliary heating element which is considerably less than that of the rest of the system. As stated before, the amount of heat put into thel auxiliary heating device may be varied by means of variable resistor 46l in series with auxiliary heating element. But for any given setting of variable resistor 46, the current through auxiliary heating element 30, and theheat produced thereby, remain constant due to the voltage regulation feature provided by thermistor element 42 in lseries with its associated resistor element 4 4.
Thus it is seen that the herein disclosed heatingv receptacle and the temperature control means therefor are well adapted to accomplish the` objects of the present in.-
vention, said control means being extremely sensitive and quick acting and thus maintaining variations from a predetermined, temperature ofthe heating receptacle down to a minimum, in a manner not heretofore known or used.
While I have shown and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it will be understood that various changes may be made in the present invention without departing from the underlying idea or principles of the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
